Description:

The mousetrap utility is a link to inputtrap, which is a general-purpose program to autodetect GUI input devices and start Input appropriately. When run as mousetrap, inputtrap will perform the additional function of starting the Mouse manager if it is not already running.

See inputtrap (Detect input devices and start Input Manager) for details on available options.

The mousetrap utility is used for mouse support only for text mode applications running on the console which use the mouse, for QNX Windows and for some older versions of the X window system for QNX. The inputtrap utility provides similar functionality for Photon and the X window system.
